Tenure-Track Position in Stochastic Differential Equations

Department of Mathematics and Statistics,
University of Victoria

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Victoria
invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor
level in Stochastic Differential Equations, to commence July 1, 2019.

The University of Victoria provides an excellent and active research
environment. As a member of the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical

and postdoctoral support. The Department itself is highly active in
research areas that intersect with Stochastic Differential Equations,
especially with Partial Differential Equations, Fluid Mechanics,
Probability and Statistics, Dynamical Systems, Mathematical Biology, and
Climate Modeling, among others. The successful candidate will find a
supportive, diverse, and intellectually challenging academic environment at
the University of Victoria.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in the Mathematical Sciences. The successful
candidate will have a strong record of research in Stochastic Differential
Equations or Stochastic Partial Differential Equations, with demonstrated
potential for establishing an internationally recognized research program,
as demonstrated for example by a solid publication record in highly ranked
peer-reviewed journals, and will have the potential for synergy with
existing research themes in the Department. The successful candidate will
be expected to supervise graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, and
will demonstrate excellence or potential for excellence in graduate and
undergraduate teaching so as to maintain and enhance the department's high
teaching standard.

Applications should be made through
mathjobs.org.
A complete application
will include a cover letter detailing interest in, and experience
pertaining to, the position; a research statement; a curriculum vitae; and
a teaching dossier. Applicants should arrange for at least four letters of
reference to be posted to MathJobs in support of their application. At
least one letter should address teaching. Questions about this position are
welcomed and can be addressed to the Chair of Mathematics and Statistics,
Dr. Marcelo Laca (mschair@uvic.ca). The Department encourages applicants
who have experienced career interruptions for parental or other types of
leaves.

Review of applications will begin January 3, 2019 and continue until the
position is filled.
